Are you ready to experience UNRIVALED SPIN?

The Diadem Axis 98 is here to redefine your game. As the latest evolution in the Diadem racket line, it combines cutting-edge technology with precision engineering to meet the demands of modern players.

With a 16x20 string pattern and a 98-square-inch head, the Axis 98 delivers the ultimate in control and spin potential. Its Air Foil Frame Design optimizes swing speed and enhances spin generation, giving you the edge you need on the court.

What sets the Axis 98 apart is the innovative Precision + Strike Zone. By repositioning the tightest part of the string bed higher in the frame, this design adapts to where players most frequently make contact, ensuring a cleaner feel and consistent performance.

The racket also incorporates Kraibon, an advanced elastomer borrowed from the worlds of motorsports and aerospace, to reduce vibrations and enhance comfort. Diadem’s Flex Stabilization System (FS) has been upgraded to FS3, combining three carbon fiber ribs with HMT Carbon and high-density foam placed strategically throughout the frame. This results in exceptional stability, dynamic power, and a responsive touch unlike any other racket.

Specifically crafted for competitive players, the Axis 98 delivers unmatched control and spin.

A modern string bed for the modern player. The classic tennis racket had the tightest part of the string pattern in the center of the racket. But tennis players don’t swing the same way they use to. Do they make contact in the same spot on the string bed?

Through research and data analysis, we have come to the conclusion that the modern tennis player makes contact higher in the string bed compared to 15-20 years ago.

The Precision + Strike Zone has moved the tightest part of the string bed from the center of the frame up 3 strings to match where the modern tennis players strikes the ball. Players will experience better feel and more consistency at contact.

The sharp angular design of the frame is based off of airplane wings and spoilers in the back of cars. The racket is designed to cut through the air efficiently to maximize an aggressive swing speed. The Air Foil frame design also slightly helps create lift to help players achieve a spin generating swing path.

FS3 is the third iteration of Diadem’s flagship technology feature.

This version of the Flex Stabilization System includes 3 ribs of carbon fiber combined with foam.

This allows for the racket to feel plush and incredibly stable on contact. FS3 allows the player to take massive swings at the ball and trust the racket to be consistent and stable through the ball.

The 3X Grommets of the Axis are the most open grommets on any Diadem racket.

The open grommets allow the strings to move more freely when making contact with the ball. More string movement will help generate more spin.

Kraibon, non-crosslinked rubber is used throughout key areas of the Nova frames. This strategically placed rubber provides ultimate dampening against harmful shock,
better stability, incredible feel, and more comfort.
